“We welcome you to all that’s Coup Coup, it’s The Coup Coup Club!”
History can always be rewritten after one too many.
The Coup Coup Club is a political musical cabaret set in the heart of Argentina’s Dirty War. Spectacular, arresting, and totally unique, it follows one mother’s extraordinary quest to take on the authorities and find her ‘disappeared’ daughter. The show has previously been performed as These Trees Are Made of Blood at Southwark Playhouse (2015) and Arcola Theatre (2017). Featuring a book by Paul Jenkins, music and lyrics by Darren Clark, based on an original concept by Amy Draper, and directed by Erin Carter and Elvi Piper, The Coup Coup Club, an immersive theatrical experience, featuring magic, movement and original live music performed by the company of actor-musicians, pulls back the curtain on a secretive state, and shines the spotlight on a powerful act of resistance.
